In its quest to develop and deploy software updates more smoothly, genealogy company Ancestry found that emulating startups was exactly the right fit for its operations.
The IT team needed to further evolve Ancestry’s approach to continuous integration/continuous delivery of software for its website where millions of DNA test kits and billions of records are processed and cross-referenced.
Kenneth Angell, software architect with Ancestry, spoke to InformationWeek about the DevOps strategy his company implemented through the Harness software delivery platform. He says using Harness also helped solve governance matters with the many different stakeholders within Ancestry, from operations to information security and quality assurance, to make deployment consistent.
